Ecole Carman Elementary School held its annual Living Wax Museum at the end of March. Grade 4 students chose a famous person to research, dressed up as that person and presented short speeches to other students and family members.
The Grade 4 students had a blast learning about these heroes, who came from different walks of life.
“I wanted to learn more about him. He had his first plane ride at six years old,” said Chase Rose who dressed up as Neil Armstrong.
“I’ve watched lots of Marvel movies. And I didn’t know he made the Fantastic Four,” added Grayson McInnes, who went as Stan Lee.
Elvis Presley also made an appearance with Easton Derksen’s outfit.
“Elvis liked to dance and sing, and he did karate,” said Easton Derksen. “The best part was making my costume. I had to use hot glue to glue jewels on my shoes.”
Some of the other costumes included Rosa Parks and Albert Einstein.
“I wanted to pick someone I didn’t know, so I picked Rosa Park as she fought for rights,” said Kinsley Bergen. “And I liked making my bus.”
“I picked Albert Einstein,” said Mina Sorto. “He didn’t speak very much when he was a child. My favourite part was dressing up and being a wax figure.”
